The big-spending French club may face stiff competition for the midfielder, however, with interest coming in from all over the world.Beckham, 37, has revealed he will leave the Galaxy after their MLS Cup defence against Houston Dynamo on December 1 and he is looking for one last challenge to finish his career.PSG, bankrolled by Qatar, made an offer to the player a year ago and the presence of head coach Carlo Ancelotti and sporting director Leonardo, both of whom Beckham knows from his spells at AC Milan, could prove the clincher.It is understood the French outfit remains a strong option but there has been interest from all around the globe, including several wealthy teams in China, Russia and even Brazil.Beckham’s representatives have dismissed claims from Australian clubs, however, that they are in talks about a move to the A-League. Such a move, or to New York Red Bulls, remain unlikely, while any chances of a return to the Premier League in England is also slim.‘I’ve had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy,’ Beckham said.

‘However, I want to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career.‘I don’t see this as the end of my relationship with [MLS] as my ambition is to be part of the ownership structure in the future.’
